The best walks and hikes around Cesano Boscone

The Scodellino bridge is the last bridge of the Naviglio Grande in Milan. It is located between Viale Gorizia and Piazza XXIV Maggio, at the point where the canal enters the Darsena. The name derives from the ancient habits of the bargemen or from the toll paid with a coin called scudo.

The image shows the famous wall of Via Pontano in Milan, located between the NoLo and Turro districts, historically known as one of the "hall of fame" for graffiti and street art along the railway walls. The area is located in Milan, along the railway near Viale Padova, a reference point for writing and urban regeneration projects like the Tunnel Boulevard. The wall is authorized as a free space ("muro libero") for artists and writers, hosting over the years works by different historical crews and different styles.

The Church of San Cristoforo sul Naviglio is one of Milan's most evocative and historic corners. Located directly on the alzaia of the Naviglio Grande, it is famous for being a rare "double church" formed by two small religious buildings side-by-side, unified in the 17th century. The Left Church (Romanesque): It is the oldest structure, rebuilt in 1192 on a previous chapel and remodeled in the 14th century. It served as a stopping point and protection for pilgrims and travelers entering Milan by water. The Right Church (Ducal Chapel): It was erected at the end of the 14th century at the behest of Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti as an ex voto for the end of a violent plague epidemic. On the facade, the Visconti coats of arms with the famous biscione can be seen. In 1625, the two interiors were joined by demolishing the dividing wall and opening two large arches. The fifteenth-century bell tower is historically nicknamed "the Meneghino lighthouse".

The Fontana di Piazza Castello, affectionately called "turta di spus" (wedding cake) by Milanese people for its shape, is located right in front of the Filarete Tower of the Sforzesco Castle. Initially built in 1936, it features a circular layout in Vicenza stone with cascading basins and spouts.

The Church of San Cristoforo sul Naviglio is one of Milan's most evocative corners, located directly on the towpath of the Naviglio Grande. This ancient monumental complex is famous for its unique "double church" configuration, formed by two adjacent buildings unified internally.

San Cristoforo is a charming complex consisting of two small churches side by side. Ancient accounts attest to the Milanese people’s affection for this church, which was originally a simple chapel covered by a gabled roof. It even seems that it was in this very little church, in 1176, that the Milanese received the first news of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa’s defeat at Legnano by the Lombard League. The church (which must have corresponded roughly to the current left aisle) was rebuilt in 1192 and extensively remodeled in the 14th century. https://www.chiesasancristoforo.it/proposta-culturale/storia/
